Thanks tabycat, I am getting the hang of it, but I surely appreciate your helping hand. I am afraid I am often in need of such acts of Grace from others, I am glad you are there because I need all the help I can get. Thanks again!
 
Many Americans are not comfortable with the notion that being a Christian at mass is being part of a Community. Individualism is very ingrained.

For much of the Church it is natural to pray as a community each Sunday and affirm what WE believe as Christians.

For those who feel better with “I” because there may be other among them who do not “really believe”, I suggest charity. God will sort it out.
Mgteich - What an interesting name. Might I suggest that there is prudence in not speaking for what someone else believes? That is my opinion, and I have been on many forums where I have been shocked by what Roman Catholics claim to believe which is in direct opposition to the teachings of the Church guided by the Holy Spirit. How can we teach those who are unfaithful to the teachings of the Church, unless we point this out not by uniting ourselves to the faulty beliefs with the comfort given by the potentially false confirmation of a shared " We believe "? I have found that the ego is the fault of man which is most manipulated by the unholy spirit, and it is what seperates one from the Faith, in that perhaps it is wise to underscore the two realities of those who profess the Creed, first, the humility which unites the humble “I believe” in the Faith of Jesus in the Church He founded, and secondly, the “I believe” which seperates one from the Creed being expressed in the words by those who are not truthful when saying " I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic church " which are spoken but not embraced with faith.
